Statistiques mondiales is a new French website, which gives statistical information about every country in the world.
Country stats are usually most interesting when you compare data from different countries. Here are some interesting figures that show the differences between France and the USA:
Population over-64 year olds: France 16%, USA 12%
Average age: France 39.1 yrs, USA 36.5 yrs
Medical expenses per person: France $ 2,019, USA $ 4,887
Infant mortality rate: France 3.9, USA 6.43 per 1,000 births
Number of doctors per 1,000 inhabitants: France 3.3, USA 2.7
Number of homicides per 10,000 inhabitants: France 0.7, USA 6.2
CO2 emissions per inhabitant: France 6.15, USA 19.85
It’s a pity the site is French-only. Hopefully they’ll make it multilingual soon.
